- pavel_lishin 10y ago"Controlled by", I would understand, but why not "shared with"?
- surfmike 10y agoOnce you're a small country sharing the grid with a big neighbor , I'd imagine it would be very difficult to go independent after.
- binalpatel 10y agoI think this is an important point - geopolitical issues are part of the equation. When Russia was invading (or liberating, based on your viewpoint) Kiev, energy reliance on Russia did play a key part in some nations willingness/unwillingness to take part in sanctions/retaliation. Given that - if 90% of a shared resource is controlled by one or two large entities (made up numbers), that puts you in a weaker position as one of the smaller entities in the 10%.
